Every number tells a story, and in 2025, Gamecheck’s story has been one of growth, vigilance, and measurable change across the iGaming landscape. This report goes beyond statistics, it highlights the tangible results of a mission built on transparency and fair play. From app downloads to fake game detections, every metric reflects how Gamecheck continues to empower players, expose fake casinos, and strengthen integrity across the industry.
Awareness of fair play is spreading fast. Through Gamecheck’s player education campaigns, spanning podcasts, blogs, and social media – more than 17.6 million people have been reached as of November 2025, marking a new milestone in global engagement.
When the Gamecheck app was launched in May 2025, the goal was simple: make it easier for players to check if an online casino is offering real games, anywhere, anytime.
Six months later, the adoption curve speaks volumes.
Each download represents a player choosing to take control before they play – a player who now has instant access to online casino verification, and direct reporting of suspicious sites. The app’s built-in QR scanner lets users authenticate a Gamecheck SEAL in real time. By linking directly to blockchain-logged data, players can see the online casino’s status and history of checks. Players can follow the online casino and stay updated through regular checks. That transparency has transformed how players interact with online casinos, from blind trust to informed confidence.
While the app puts Gamecheck on mobile devices, the Gamecheck Chrome Extension brings verification directly to players’ browsers. It’s simple, seamless, and designed for real-time protection. Once installed, the extension automatically detects the site being visited and pulls its status directly from the Gamecheck database.
Players get to see:
And if the online casino hasn’t been checked yet, the player can request verification without leaving the page they are on. This access to real-time data has turned verification from a complex process into a single click – protecting players and feeding insights back into Gamecheck’s investigation network.
The Gamecheck SEAL remains the visual heart of our mission. It’s the live symbol of an online casino’s commitment to fair play. Each Gamecheck SEAL is backed by blockchain data, which can only be authenticated via the Gamecheck app, and subject to immediate removal if fake games are ever detected.
Current Gamecheck SEAL adoption – 2025 overview: The Gamecheck SEAL is now displayed on nine online casinos, marking the first wave of operators committed to verified transparency and fair play.
Nine operators have already earned the Gamecheck SEAL, signalling a rising commitment to fair play across the industry. Behind every Gamecheck SEAL is a rigorous process:
If any fake games are later found, the Gamecheck SEAL is revoked instantly – and that casino’s Gamecheck profile is updated to reflect Fake Games Detected. This approach ensures that no operator can buy trust – they must earn and maintain it.
Since January, Gamecheck has checked thousands of online casinos through its tool, app, and Chrome Extension combined. Each check contributes to a living database that reflects the current state of the iGaming market.

These numbers don’t just measure volume, they reflect vigilance. Each site examined and each game checked, brings the industry one step closer to measurable integrity.
Empowering players to act is central to Gamecheck’s mission. The request verification feature allows players to report a suspicious casino directly – triggering a review that includes evidence collection and provider confirmation. In 2025, that empowerment turned into collective action:
Each report helps us build a clearer picture of the market. It also underscores a major shift in player behaviour: verification before play is becoming a standard practice.
Gamecheck’s exposure reports are now a major source of truth for players, providers, and the media. By cross-referencing site activity, traffic patterns, and provider validation, we’ve publicly exposed multiple fake casinos in the UK, Turkey, and LATAM, through the Fake Casinos Exposed series.
These exposures did more than name and shame rogue operators. They removed thousands of fake games from circulation – reducing player risk and creating positive ripple effects across the iGaming industry. Some operators, once exposed, switched to real games in operation to restore credibility. Others vanished altogether. This is data driving positive change through accountability.
Detecting fake games remains Gamecheck’s core capability. Our system continuously monitors flagged sites, identifying unauthorised copies of legitimate titles.
Fake Games Detected
Behind each fake game detection is a combination of human investigation and machine analysis. We collect game launch URLs, evidence recordings, and metadata – all verified directly by the official game providers. The result: an evidence-based record of fake games that players can trust. The graph below shows an increase of fake games detected in August, and a steady decrease of fake games detected since then.
The impact of exposure doesn’t end with detection. In many cases, rogue casinos adapt to survive – and Gamecheck ensures that transformation is visible. 345 online casinos have switched to real games after exposure.
For players, this means real progress. For the industry, it means one thing: transparency works. Gamecheck’s policy of immediate Gamecheck SEAL removal and 12-month reapplication bans sends a clear signal – fair play isn’t optional, it’s an obligation.
None of this progress would be possible without the collaboration of the world’s leading game providers. Their ongoing partnership is what gives Gamecheck its edge - validating our findings, and helping to uncover unauthorised copies that threaten player trust and brand integrity. These providers share our mission of protecting fair play and ensuring their original titles are represented accurately across the iGaming landscape.
Gamecheck’s progress this year is more than numerical, it represents a cultural shift in iGaming. Players now expect transparency, and operators have started to recognise that verified data has become the new standard of integrity. That shift is reflected not just in our reports and tools, but in our reach.
Gamecheck’s player education campaigns, spanning blogs, and social media, have reached 17.6 million players and industry followers worldwide as of November 2025, marking a milestone in growing awareness and trust.
The Gamecheck Blog continues to expand its international readership, with audiences spanning the UK, Germany, Serbia, Turkey, Brazil, and Mexico engaging regularly with its articles and social content on fair play. Each story, analysis, and exposure adds momentum to a growing movement for evidence-based integrity across iGaming. None of this progress would be possible without the collaboration of the world’s leading game providers, whose partnership helps transform Gamecheck’s data into action and its insights into lasting impact.
The numbers speak for themselves – each one supported by a technical framework built to detect, document, and deter fake games. Gamecheck’s detection model combines:
The combination of automation and human oversight ensures no result stands unverified.
If a Gamecheck SEAL is active, it’s because the evidence has been checked and confirmed.
2025 has been a year of measurable milestones.
